Window mastic in Kelton, done properly
The new joint doesn’t have to be white. We can seal in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear, so the bead blends with the window rather than framing it. Common call-outs are for cold air getting in at the frame edge and hard, cracked sealant around windows, on composite doors, window sills and aluminium frames.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Kelton depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The process
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames, including the tidy-up. Around Kelton, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- All the failed sealant is cut away, along with any loose debris.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Don’t paint over the silicone
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
Keep sill grooves and drainage slots clear, so rain drains out rather than building up at the sealant.
A small gap around a frame only grows. As the old mastic shrinks further, more air gets through, and heat escapes around the frame. A new joint closes it up.

What sealant work can’t fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Faulty window hardware
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
- A door that needs adjusting, rehanging or new seals
If you’re not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.

When to call us in Kelton
Some failures date back to when the windows were fitted. Sealant run over dust, wet brick or loose mortar never bonded as it should, so it comes away long before its time.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Mastic that’s falling out in pieces
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
For landlords with property near Dumfries station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.

How the job changes by surface
Composite doors
Front doors take the weather head on. We pay most attention there.
Patio & French doors
Heavy door frames can move more than windows. A flexible sealant copes with that.
Frames and glazing around Kelton
Kelton is within about 2 miles of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on the mastic around window and door frames, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic.
In and around Kelton, as anywhere, good window mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Why deal with it now?
Getting a straight, even bead on an outside frame takes practice, especially upstairs. A professional job is cut out properly, backed where needed and finished neatly, using a product chosen for the frame and wall. In an older home around Kelton, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
